This book looks critically at some of the underlying assumptions
which shape our current understanding of the role and purpose of
law and society. It focuses on adjudication as a social practice
and as a set of governmental techniques. From this vantage point,
it explores how the relationship between law, government and
society has changed in the course of history in significant ways.
At the centre of the argument is the elaboration of the notion of
`adjudicative government'. From this perspective it is argued that
the relationship between law and society must be conceived in a
different way in the era of economics, sociology and statistics.
The impact of these disciplines both constitutes `modernity' and
unfolds a different role for law. The author argues that the
traditional vision of the role of law, rooted in a complex set of
hierarchical assumptions, is no longer adequate.
